Ive got a bunch of tiny/mini/micros running everything and the kitchen sink - mostly lenovo right now, but with a couple hp elitedesks and dell micros. I only store VMs locally though, so its all m.2 and general storage on the NAS’s.
JF you’ve got plenty of processing with the iGPU for any compatible codec.
Couldn’t tell you on the frigate side, but otherwise youre perfectly fine with that hardware.

What do you do to protect your micro’s m.2 disks? I had one that cooked itself, and I haven’t put much load on it since I replaced the drive.

@Passerby6497 @curbstickle I have a Minisforum hm90 that tried to cook the nvme (it triggered a smart error before actually frying, thankfully). Since the m2 slot is on the bottom near some vents, I just put the minipc on top of an AC Infinity usb fan (I forget if P12 or P14 - use whatever fits your minipc best) that blows up into the case and over the nvme.

I’ll give that a look, thanks!

@Passerby6497 np! Any usb-powered PC fan will do, btw. I also have some Arctic fans that I like even better, but for the minipc I'm using an AC Infinity.

Nothing special in the slightest.
The rack has good airflow, I keep the case clean and dust free so the fans dont have to work hard, and the room its in is at the same 72F the rest of my home is. Haven’t had any issues so far with any m2’s, and I’ve lost one dell micro (mobo failure) in… 8ish years?
